Joey Wong plays a ghost who kills men for her master Old Evil. Her newest victim is Leslie Cheung who plays a scholar and he comes to town to collect money for his job, but him and Joey Wong end up falling in love. But Joey Wong is supposed to be marrying Lord Black. Luckily Leslie Cheung made friends with a Taoist swordsman played by Wu Ma and he tries his best to help the couple stay together.



I went into this expecting nothing so maybe that is why I was so blown away. The relationship between Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong is actually believable. Leslie Cheung comes across as such a caring person and Joey Wong can't kill him even though she has to or else she will be killed. Even when Leslie Cheung finds out he is in love with a ghost he can't change his mind about someone he has already fallen in love with.



Wu Ma also gives a great performance. This is the best role I have ever seen from him, and he has been around forever.



The action is good but that is not what this movie is about. This is a love story, not a fighting movie, so don't go into this expecting any hardcore action.



4/5
